spoga+gafa, will once again present all facets of the garden theme.
Over the three days, around 2,000 exhibitors from around 60 countries will present their new products and innovations for the coming outdoor season to the trade audience. “We are very pleased with the registration figures of spoga+gafa. The result shows that Cologne is the central marketplace of the green industry. With an expected 75 percent share of foreign exhibitors, we have once again reached a very high level. The high interest from abroad shows us that spoga+gafa is also the leading international platform for the presentation of the garden industry's new products,” said Katharina C. Hamma, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse. Since in addition to Halls 1 to 7, 9 and 10, spoga+gafa is also being staged in Hall 4 this year, the overall exhibition space spans 225,000 square metres. spoga horse autumn, the International Trade Fair for Equestrian Sports, which is held parallel to spoga+gafa, is relocating to Hall 11.
